SHIPPING
Truckload Shipping Service
Truckload shipping services refer to the kinds of freight where the goods are delivered on-road via trailer trucks. Typically, the cargo inside the trucks are homogeneous or of the same nature. Truckload shipping may be used side by side with rail freight, especially in accomplishing the final mile of your shipment.
- Full truckload shipping (FTL)
- Less than a truckload shipping (LTL)
- Intermodal in-land transport
SHIPPING
Less than Truckload Shipping Service
Truckload shipping may be necessary when shipping by rail to complete your delivery. If your cargo doesn't fill up an entire trailer, choosing less than truckload shipping (LTL) may be better in terms of costs. When shipping by LTL, the trailer space would be shared by multiple shippers like you. Pay only for the space that your cargo takes with LTL freight.
